¹¹ Now ^(A)Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.

¹³ The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’

⁷ And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? ^(A)Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Isaac and Rebekah

24 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years. And the Lord ^(A)had blessed Abraham in all things.

³⁶ And Sarah my master's wife ^(A)bore a son to my master when she was old, and ^(B)to him he has given all that he has.

¹⁸ And Zechariah said to the angel, ^(A)“How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.”

¹⁹ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ^(A)as good as dead (^(B)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ^(C)the barrenness^[a] of Sarah's womb.

²³ But ^(A)the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while ^(B)the son of the free woman was born through promise.

¹¹ By faith ^(A)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered ^(B)him faithful who had promised.
